Description
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it. OUR MISSION True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground. OUR VALUES Be the offset.   We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity. What would it take?  We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results. It’s the people.  Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together. YOUR MISSION We are looking for a Mission Architect to join our team in developing and integrating cutting-edge aerospace and defense systems. The Mission Architect will play a critical role in defining, analyzing, and ensuring the successful implementation of mission requirements across complex aerospace platforms. The Mission Architect defines the system of systems concept of operations. This role will involve working on complex, mission-critical space systems, supporting national defense initiatives, and advancing technologies in autonomous space operations. This position will involve working closely with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and integrate system solutions in defense, space, and intelligence applications. RESPONSIBILITIES Mission Design & Requirements Analysis:  Collaborate with customers, stakeholders, and internal teams to define and document mission objectives, system requirements, and operational concepts. Translate customer and mission needs into actionable engineering solutions, ensuring alignment with technical and programmatic constraints. Lead system trade studies, performance evaluations, and feasibility assessments to ensure optimal system architecture design. Lead the design, simulation, and analysis of mission trajectories. Optimize spacecraft maneuvers to achieve mission objectives while considering fuel efficiency, timing, and risk mitigation. Prepare detailed technical reports, presentations, and documentation for internal and external stakeholders, including government agencies and customers. Support proposal development and provide technical input for new mission opportunities.  System Integration & Verification:  Oversee the integration of mission systems, ensuring seamless interaction between hardware, software, and operational components. Develop system-level integration and verification plans, conducting end-to-end testing to validate mission requirements. Coordinate with subsystem teams to troubleshoot and resolve integration challenges, ensuring mission readiness. Support mission operations teams during testing and real-time mission execution.       Modeling, Simulation & Analysis:  Develop, validate, and maintain high-fidelity models for spacecraft motion and environmental factors. Use advanced tools (e.g., STK, GMAT, MATLAB, FreeFlyer) to simulate mission scenarios and predict outcomes. Run Monte Carlo simulations to assess mission robustness under various contingencies. Use advanced simulation tools to model mission scenarios, system behaviors, and performance under operational conditions. Conduct system performance analysis, including reliability, safety, and mission effectiveness, under various environmental conditions. Assess mission success criteria and operational risks, and propose mitigation strategies. Conduct pre-flight and post-flight mission analysis, including trajectory reconstruction and anomaly investigations.  Risk Assessment & Mitigation:  Identify and analyze mission risks related to complex space missions, including collision risks and operational uncertainties. Develop mitigation strategies and contingency plans
